Shes not pretty buy she does the job

Pioneer VSX-1022-K 7.1-Channel 3D Ready A/V Receiver
Pioneer VSX-1022-K 7.1-Channel 3D Ready A/V Receiver

Pros: Decent amp for good crisp sound with out to much heat.

Cons: The GUI on the pioneer is kinda sad.

Overall Review: I bought this amp to go with def tech pro cinema 60 setup to replace my old klispch pro media 5.1 system. For a pc setup this amp is a great buy for you main amp I would look and the 1122 or maybe the onkyo version which ever is on sale.

ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Fast sata controllers. (until they break) Fast PCIe 3.0. (Until the controller fails) Military grade components with a 5 year gold star warranty ( which is great on paper but real bad when it breaks.)

Cons: Military grade high end motherboards should last more than a year. I didn't even overcloak just used the ASUS optimized settings. I dust a clean my case out once a month. I use high quality video cards, ram, psu, and sound cards none have which failed and all of which had better call center support than ASUS.

Overall Review: The warranty sucks. Rapid RMA means you have a 3-4 week hold fro $270 bucks from your account. Or send your board in for 2-3 weeks for repair. I thought I paid more for a high end board and warranty. This is the same Rma process for the low end asusrocks boards. So why did I pay $170 more for the high end model that breaks in a year? Don't be a chump like me save the money order a cheaper board from msi or spend 300 with evga. ASUcks.

MSI GL65 Leopard 10SEK-022 - 15.6" - Intel Core i7-10750H - RTX 2060 - 16 GB Memory - 1 TB HDD - 512 GB SSD - Gaming Laptop
MSI GL65 Leopard 10SEK-022 - 15.6" - Intel Core i7-10750H - RTX 2060 - 16 GB Memory - 1 TB HDD - 512 GB SSD - Gaming Laptop

Pros: Since you all can read the specs in the overview, here are my 2060 Undervolt settings and performace. I have the 2060 at 875mv 1925mhz clock speed stable with the ram at 800mhz oc and my temps are between 65c-75c while gaming and up to 80c under stress test. The 2060 in this model is the newer version that goes up to 115w. 75-80fps Red Ded 2 High settings 130-144fps Doom Eternal Ultra settings 75-85fps Assassins creed Origins 95-110fps WOW max settings 65-80fps GTA V very high settings 75-88fps Jedi fallen order Mix of high and medium settings 70-95fps Shadow of the Tomb Raider High settings 140-144fps South Park the Fractured But Whole 80-100fps Civ 6 So far it handles everything I throw at it like a champ. The screen looks pretty good after you run Windows calibration. Battery lasts about 1-3 hours depending on what you are doing. Solid laptop and even though this model is out of stock, I'm sure the other ones that feature the 2060 or 2070 cards are just as solid.

Cons: The new 10th gen runs hot. I average 85-98c during gaming and about 60-75c doing no gaming tasks. I figure once support for the 10th gen chips is offered in Throttle Stop or Intel Tuning, we can get a nice 3.6-3.8ghz turbo clock under volt that will get those temps down 10-15c and retain most the power of the cpu.

Overall Review: I like it a lot.

So far So great

MSI Z270 GAMING PRO CARBON LGA 1151 Intel Z270 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard
MSI Z270 GAMING PRO CARBON LGA 1151 Intel Z270 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Easy to setup and Overclock. Heat shield on the M.2 is a nice touch. RGB effects are on point. Stable workhorse at gaming and video editing. Have 32gb of hyper fury X ddr4 2133mhz running stable at 3000mhz with the easy "try It" memory settings.

Cons: If you are a hardcore OCer looking for the best benchmark score on your rig this may fall short. If you are a gamer that wants an easy plug and play oc that is stable at 4.8ghz this is your board.

Vr missions are a blast.

Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration - PlayStation 4

Pros: Great game, fun VR missons, and the beautiful Ms. Croft has never looked better.

Cons: Only buy this version if you wanna do the PSVR missions or don't own a gaming PC. The PC version on a good rig blows this outta the water.

Starts out little slow.

Final Fantasy XV - PlayStation 4
Final Fantasy XV - PlayStation 4

Pros: Great character models and fluid attack moves and spells. Open world road trip setting is a nice change for an RPG.

Cons: The character models look very modern and sharp the landscape textures on the other hand look very PS3 and dated.

Overall Review: Wait for a sale then enjoy.
